Bruss North America Inc.

Bruss North America Inc. has expanded its operations twice in the last few years. The company now has approximately 400 employees at its Russell Springs plant. The German company, which specializes in the manufacturing of sealing systems for transmissions and engines, has invested $40 million in plant and manufacturing equipment.

The Russell Springs plant, which opened in September 2001, is the company's only U.S. production operation and is also the North American corporate headquarters.

Having excellent communication technology is extremely important for Premier Tox, as the business relies on e-mail to notify customers of drug testing results. Russell County's 100 percent fiber optic network also enabled Premier to design its own phone system to handle the 10,000 daily calls it receives from drug court participants nationwide, who are checking to see if they will be tested that day.
